Criminals will always find ways to get things they are not allowed to have. The real problem is that innocent people have no access to guns for protection.

Targeting trigger pullers after the crime serves no purpose except for law enforcement to cash in on a cycle of violence through more funding and overtime instead of empowering citizens to defend themselves.

I mean,we made it hard. REAL hard in fact, to uhhhh, to uhhhh get any guns legally. So uhhh, I’m not gonna rest until I’m satisfied that there are no more guns to be had. I mean, those Republicans that want to make my Attorney Gemeral Eric Holder look bad, why,they’re – they’re handin out Saturday Nite specials to these fine young men of African descent, and these young fellows, well, they just want a better life for themselves! Who can blame them? ]]>By: SweetOlBobhttp://www.ammoland.com/2014/07/attorney-general-holder-announces-plans-to-send-7-additional-atf-agents-to-chicago/#comment-490794 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 20:44:13 +0000http://ammoland.com/?p=160171#comment-490794Whaddya wanna bet that their meeting was held at Obama’s Chicago “Boys Club”. ]]>By: Erichttp://www.ammoland.com/2014/07/attorney-general-holder-announces-plans-to-send-7-additional-atf-agents-to-chicago/#comment-487695 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 07:55:10 +0000http://ammoland.com/?p=160171#comment-487695And Holder wants to release 46000 felons early .

Why not address the underlying problem that fosters the violence? Undereducated citizens and nearly destitute people crowded into a small area. It’s Lord of the Flies writ large.

Guns are the tools of violence, that’s all. The violence itself is a symptom of the desperation that inner city Chicago faces.

Wow! Sounds like, smells like and looks like prohibition in a different form. But hey, everybody knows this is going to be successful. Look at the success they have with illegal drugs – oops! Didn’t Holder just turn a bunch of convicted drug dealers and users loose? Nothing like success, I always say.

Crime has decreased in Detroit since the first of the year when Chief Craig took over. Placing more ATF agents is just the Dems way of throwing more money at a problem expecting it to help when it hadn’t in the past. ]]>By: TSgt Bhttp://www.ammoland.com/2014/07/attorney-general-holder-announces-plans-to-send-7-additional-atf-agents-to-chicago/#comment-483494 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:11:35 +0000http://ammoland.com/?p=160171#comment-483494“ATF’s commitment to targeting traffickers”, Gracie?
